If you haven't read "A Crash Course in Meter", I encourage you to do so now. It explains strong and weak syllables, how they can be indicated in the analysis of word rhythms using capital and lower case letters: i Want / to GO / out-SIDE / to-DAY / and PLAY (that's iambic pentameter).

one more line which is out of place this is not iambic - ONE more / LINE which / is OUT / of PLACE - the first two feet are trochaic (SW) and the last two are iambic (WS) - you could fix it like this: i SEE / a LINE / that's OUT / of PLACE

think you meant begin not begone. this is three trochees followed by an iamb: THINK you / MEANT be- / GIN not / be-GONE - this could be fixed like this: i THINK / you MEANT / be-GIN / and NOT / be-GONE

I know this sucks but it was fun now you're back to iambic

and keep up the good work, seven, eight this is not iambic - and KEEP / up the GOOD / work SEV- / en EIGHT - the second foot is an anapaest. You could fix it, more or less, like this: and KEEP / the GOOD / work UP, / count SEV- / en EIGHT.

oh and feel free to use this to tell, or is it show, others what not to do. You're too hard on yourself. Try another.

have a good day Lon. You, too, Max.

sorry edit - I went down to feed the chicken after I posted this and remembered this is a ten count not eight. maybe i'll try again later There was no stipulation as to line lengths, just to write in iambic rhythm, but if you want to write IP, that's welcome, too.
